How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
Complete integrals and covariant versus time Hamilton-Jacobi
Statement
Assume for the cotangent/HJ supplier chain and let . Let be open and . Let be open and , with wherever and . If the mixed matrix is invertible at , then after restricting neighborhoods the equations , define a local diffeomorphism at each fixed . Equip the old chart with and the target chart, whose position coordinates are and momentum coordinates are , with . Then , so this is a local canonical transformation in the stated convention, and is constant along the Hamilton characteristics , . Such a family is a complete integral only on that nonsingular local domain. In the physical interpretation, have units m, have units kg m/s, has units s, and has units J s. is assigned action units in this interpretation.
For the relativistic specialization, take , in kilograms and in metres per second, and a temporal product chart with the selected future normal of A curved temporal chart gives a local reduced Hamiltonian. Write its metric as , where , and the positive-definite symmetric matrix are smooth; is the inverse matrix. The notation denotes the shift, distinct from the integration coordinate . Set and require the Hamiltonian in this specialization to be exactly
on for , or its open part for . For each fixed , define the spacetime action on the corresponding chart domain and write . Then the covariant equation with future, excluding the zero covector when , is equivalent to , with . The canonical-coordinate result above still applies to arbitrary ; the covariant-shell equivalence uses this specified reduced Hamiltonian.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , the open domains and smooth Hamiltonian in the statement, a local HJ solution, and a point where is invertible.
The Axiom of Countable Choice (): assume countable choice only for the cotangent and HJ supplier chain; no full axiom of choice is used.
Local Hamilton-Jacobi solution by invertible characteristics: for each initial point lying in its open Hamiltonian domain, the local characteristic construction supplies an actual smooth HJ solution while its projection remains invertible; no continuation beyond loss of projection invertibility is asserted.
The Euclidean inverse function theorem: a map with invertible derivative has a local inverse , with . The scalar derivative algebra and total chain rule are supplied by Sums, scalar multiples, products and quotients: , , , and when and The chain rule for total derivatives: .
A curved temporal chart gives a local reduced Hamiltonian: the current H9 draft assumes a temporal product chart, , positive spatial metric, and excludes on the massless branch; it gives and . The supplier is a mathematical deduction within its stated chart, positive-root and nonzero-null hypotheses; it introduces no physical action adoption. Here the temporal coefficients in the reduced root are evaluated at ; the physical-time domain is .
Proof
Given: The hypotheses in the statement and exact conditional temporal-shell interface [L2].
First obtain the exact finite-regularity inverse used here from [F1]. If is , its local inverse satisfies . The entries of are by the chain rule. Matrix inversion on invertible matrices is entrywise by the cofactor-over-determinant formula, whose denominator is nonzero; finite products and reciprocal differentiation use the derivative algebra in [F1]. Consequently is , and is . At fixed , the map has derivative , which is invertible at the stated point. By [F1], after restriction it is a diffeomorphism and solves locally for . Keeping as an additional identity coordinate in gives the same invertible block derivative and shows that the inverse is jointly . Define ; this gives a local map .
In the relativistic specialization, the chain rule gives and . The future-shell root [L2] is for the Hamiltonian explicitly required in the statement. Thus the covariant future-shell equation implies . Conversely, this HJ equation sets to precisely that root, which solves the covariant shell equation and selects its future branch; the root satisfies for the selected future unit normal . The nonzero-momentum domain when excludes the zero null covector.
The map has derivative , which is invertible because . By [F1] it has a local inverse solving for from ; then gives the inverse map to the one in step 1.1. The equations therefore define the claimed local diffeomorphism.
Along a Hamilton characteristic, and . Differentiate along it, and differentiate the HJ equation in to obtain . Since is invertible, . Differentiate the HJ equation with respect to : . Thus .
At fixed , the differential in is . Taking its exterior derivative gives , hence . This is exactly for the source and target forms stated above.
Under the stated SI assignments, has joule-seconds, so has kg m/s and has joules. Since is assigned kg m/s, has metres. Thus the HJ equation and the canonical generating identity respect the assigned action units.
